Chapter 1640


    With that in mind, Adrian could not care less and quickly grabbed Frederic’s hand, saying, “Uncle


    Frederic, stop it. Mr. Mandra is Dorodo’s city defense army’s…”


    However, Frederic interrupted Adrian with a cold snort before she could finish speaking.


    “So he’s with the city defense army? Is he a big shot in the army? Ha, so what? He has no right to


    unt himself in front of my Frederic! He can say whatever he wants when he’s themander-in-chief


    of Dorodo’s city defense army!”


    Once Frederic finished speaking, Adrian froze instantly.


    She had so many mixed emotions that she did not know what to do. It was because Maurina was the


    Just then, the shop door was flung open.


    A young man in military uniform strode in, followed by two soldiers with crossbows in their hands and


    swords hanging around their waists!

    However, the young man and the soldiers he brought were not city defense soldiers but belonged to


    the mayor of Dorodo, Quentin.


    Quentin was the mayor of Dorodo, and his personal safety must be guaranteed. Therefore, Quentin


    had a team of 30 personal bodyguards. These personal guards did not belong to the city defense army.


    They were two separate systems.


    The young man in the lead was the captain of Quentin’s personal guards.


    Maurina and the captain of the personal guards had met at the banquet but did not greet each other.


    Maurina recognized the captain of the personal guards, but he did not seem to recognize Maurina.


    He walked past Maurina and stood before Frederic and the other customers after entering.


    He said haughtily, “Oh, Mr. Dous, business is booming! I heard you had a new collection of antiques.


    The mayor asked me toe and have a look.”


    Frederic still looked furious when he talked to Maurina, but he immediately smiled when he saw the


    captain of the personal guards.


    “It’s you, Captain Hooter. Sorry for not waiting for you at the door. Sorry for not waiting for you at the


    door! Here, here, here. This way, please. I’ve prepared some antiques for the mayor. They’re his


    favorite types.”


    With that said, Frederic directed Captain Hooter to the most prominent spot in front of the shelf.


    The other customers shut up and said nothing.


    “What’s going on here?” Maurina asked, looking at Adrian.


    Adrian sighed helplessly before lowering her voice and exining, “His name is Tobias Hooter. He’s the


    captain of Mayor Quentin’s personal guards. Every once in a while, he woulde to Uncle Frederic’s


    shop and say he’s here to pick out antiques for the mayor, but he never paid for them.”


    “He never paid?” Maurina frowned.


    He took antiques but did not pay for them. That was not buying but robbing!


    How could the mayor, Quentin, have the captain and members of his personal guards rob an antique


    store?


    It was outrageous!


    “Have you neverined?” Maurina asked again.


    Adrian looked even more helpless as she said, “Comin? Who should wein to? Quentin’s the


    mayor. He’s in charge of everything in Dorodo. He asked the captain of his personal guards to pick up


    some antiques. What could nobodies like us do?


    Maurina was deep in thought once hearing Adrian say that.


    However, there was suddenly a piercing noise of things breaking.


    Then the captain of the personal guards, Tobias, shouted in displeasure. “Mr. Dous,e on. The


    mayor ordered me to patronize your business, and you just gave me a few pieces of crap to call it a


    day. Are you trying to mess with the mayor?”
